About

This course has been developed based on extensive consultation with experts in the field. It serves as a sport specific post-graduate qualification that aligns with industry requirements and expectations and that can be used as a springboard into either the workforce or further study.

This course may be suitable for:

  • Professionals already working in the sport industry looking for additional education to improve their career prospects

  • People currently working in sport, such as athletes or coaches, who may not have the necessary qualifications for management roles
  • Directors or committee members of sport organisations who want to enhance their skills to better contribute to their organisation.

Target roles include: Sport Membership Manager, Sport Event and Tournament Manager, Club Development Manager, Coaching and/or Officials Manager, Sponsorship and/or Partnerships Manager

The course can be completed in less than three months via full-time online study, with part-time study also an option, to assist students in balancing work or other commitments. Each unit will run over a 10-week period (a session). The course is delivered fully online, providing flexibility to tailor your study to your individual timetables. Academics will also be available for one-to-one discussion and support.
